HonorHealth Research Institute First in Southwest to Implant New Stroke Prevention Stent

DAIC

The Neuroguard Integrated Embolic Protection (IEP) system is an experimental treatment for carotid artery stenosis, also known as carotid artery disease, a condition in which fatty-waxy deposits known as plaque builds up and blocks the normal flow of blood in the large arteries on either side of the neck. Designed by Raleigh, N.C.-based

OPTILOW: A Low‐Profile Approach for Implanting Optimus‐L Stents in Infants and Children

Journal of the American Heart Association

Stent performance was assessed.ResultsWe identified 28 patients (67.8% Percentage of stenosis was 50% (IQR, 36%58%). The procedures mostly used 7 Fr sheaths for stents on 6, 7, and 8 mm balloons and 8 Fr sheaths for 9, 10, 12 mm balloons. Median stent expansion percentage was 95% (IQR, 90%96%). kg (IQR, 9.116.4).

Abstract TP226: Drug-Eluting Stenting Versus Medical Treatment Alone For Patients With Extracranial Vertebral Artery Stenosis: The VISTA Trial

Stroke Journal

Drug-eluting stents have shown better performance than bare metal stents. Drug-eluting stents have shown better performance than bare metal stents. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to drug-eluting stenting plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone. Results:A total of 472 patients will be enrolled.
